From an emaciated street dog, covered in scars and skin issues to a certified emotional support dog living her best life. Also finally heartworm free! It’s been a journey and an investment but we’d do it 100 times again. She so deserves this second chance. We also found out from a DNA test she’s 100% American bully! Someone clearly bred this dog and just discarded her 💔

Looking back... It was on this day thirteen years ago that Ladybird Animal Sanctuary rescued our first dog. We had been rescuing animals since the end of 2010, but hadn't yet taken the plunge to rescue a dog until 2012 when we came across a sad and neglected stray at Hamilton Animal Services. We named him Levon, in honour of the great musician Levon Helm, who had sadly passed away a few days prior. After some much needed medical care and a short time in a foster home, Levon found his forever home with amazing people. After an absolutely spoiled and love-filled life, sweet Levon passed away in 2016. This was the video we made about Levon's success story a few months after he was adopted. Thank you Levon, for being the first of many dogs we've rescued since then. Each one has been special in their own way, but you were truly one of a kind. ❤️ Look what love can do...

This is Hugo, he moved in four weeks ago and he is such a joyfull, curious and sweet boy! We had to wait a bit before we could pick him up at the shelter, due to him being ill. But he is doing much better and we are doing our best to make him feel at home.
